‘We all saw the UFOs moving through the trees and again captured them on film but this time much more clearer than before.’

Young shows off his finds in a YouTube series.

The original UFO encounter at the site been the subject of multiple films and documentaries – and even today, the revelation (by one witness) of ‘missing hours’ during the incident, made headlines around the world.

What’s unique about the incident, sometimes described as ‘Britain’s Roswell’, is the detailed accounts by serving military personnel.

The events unfolded over two nights in December 1980, in Rendlesham Forest, near RAF Woodbridge, which at the time was used by the American Air Force.

Two American soldiers, John Burroughs and Jim Penniston, claimed to have seen strange lights like a ‘huge red eye’ in the woods in Rendlesham in Suffolk.

They approached the lights, initially thinking it was a downed aircraft, but Sergeant Penniston later described seeing a ‘craft of unknown origin’.

Retired Colonel Charles Halt made a dictaphone recording as the events unfolded, and has since claimed that RAF radar personnel also detected the craft – but were unwilling to give statements until they retired.

Halt claims to have written statements from RAF personnel saying that they too detected an unknown craft.

Colonel Charles Halt made a dictaphone recording at the time, saying: ‘While in Rendlesham Forest, our security team observed a light that looked like a large eye, red in colour, moving through the trees.

‘After a few minutes this object began dripping something that looked like molten metal.’

The soldiers made drawings and descriptions of craft which resemble classic ‘flying saucers’.
